Catch Up

Doug started his new job this morning. He's already called and didn't sound very enthused. Granted, today is orientation and he's probably just bored. I just hope he doesn't think this is a mistake and thinks that just because Angela gave him a reference that he has to stay there.

We celebrated our anniversary over the weekend. I think we've found a new mattress for our bed and that is going to be our anniversary gift to each other. Not very exciting or romantic (well, maybe it is a little romantic.) Anyhow, it is hard to believe this year has gone so quickly. I'm hoping for fewer issues in our 2nd year. As for actually celebrating we had dinner at Red Lobster on Sunday afternoon (I really wanted something a little bit nicer, 36th Street or someplace like that, but they are all closed on Sundays) and we ate way too much. For some reason the whole experience kind of soured our celebratory mood and we ended up sulking for a good hour or 2. Finally, I decided that it wasn't worth it to spend our anniversary like that so I got our freezer burnt cake out and we had that with some wine we bought last year right after the wedding. That turned our whole evening around and we both went to bed happy that night. Then since yesterday was our official anniversary Doug had dinner ready for me when I got home from work, we exchanged cards and spent the rest of the evening in a most enjoyable way. ;) Overall, I'd say it turned out very nice and we didn't need to take a fancy trip or anything like that.

We also went to see Burn After Reading this weekend...HILARIOUS!!! I highly recommend it. We went with Angela & Jay and it was definitely a crowd pleaser. We've been having a nice time hanging out with A&J. For some reason Doug & Jay have really hit it off. I'm glad for that. It's nice that we aren't always hanging out with his friends. Not as nice as when you & Josh lived here, but I'll take it.

That's all for us, now what's been going on with you? I know your new job starts next week, are you getting excited? How's Hazel? Isn't time you posted some more pictures of that little cutie! How's school going for Josh? Is he ready to be done?

Alright, alright...no more questions! Have a great day!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe it's already been a year.

Any updates about Doug's job? I think the first day is hard because it is always super boring and you don't know what is expected of you. I really hope it has gotten better...
